My mother died 6 months ago and it’s totally changed my perspective on most things, including my career.

I chose internal IT audit bc it’s the only job in cybersecurity I could land and it’s stable with good wlb.

I am not sure if I want to continue in internal IT Audit bc it’s boring. I find myself wondering if this is all my life will be: work papers, findings, meetings, more work papers and policies.

I don’t know where the internal IT Audit career path goes. What doors does internal IT Audit open? Where can internal IT audit take you?

I am no stranger to hard work and am willing to grind if there are greener pastures….i just don’t know what to do.

Background: 5 YoE as a Business Analyst and 2 YoE as Internal IT Audit (current role) at a large insurance provider. I have a MS Cybersecurity and sitting for the CISA soon.
